‘Fallen Kingdom’ Features More Practical Dinosaurs Than Any Previous ‘Jurassic Park’ Sequel!
Filmmakers sometimes make promises that don’t end up coming true, but when director J.A. Bayona said months back that Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom was going to feature as many practical dinosaur effects as possible, it seems that he damn sure meant it. This summer’s new film will indeed be a practical effects-heavy monster mash!
Speaking with producers Frank Marshall and Pat Crowley on the set, in a chat they weren’t able to publish until this week, /Film brings us word on FK‘s effects.
“I think since Jurassic Park we’ve got more animatronics than any of the other movies. Except for Jurassic Park,” Marshall told the site during their on-set chat, while Crowley explained that the film puts dinosaurs and humans into close contact for “a longer period of time than we’ve ever been.” Thus the need for more practical dinos.
Marshall continued, “The process of the animatronics is so advanced now from what it used to be. What they’re able to do now is fantastic. And it’s so much faster to see what you’re gonna have. So that made it really cool.”
Coolest of all, Marshall told the site that Fallen Kingdom features a newly built, life-sized Tyrannosaurus Rex animatronic, brought to life by servos and puppeteers!
Life continues to find a way on June 22.
After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.
You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!
Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.
Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”
“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.
She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”
Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.
Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
